  • Im Mai 2018 fuhren wir mit dem DHR-Güterzug von Siliguri nach Darjeeling. Mit 5 Güterwagen ging´s los, aber nach und nach "verloren" wir unseren Zug: Entgleisungen, technische Probleme... und am Ende waren nur noch 2 Wagen fahrfähig - mit denen rollten wir dann aber in Darjeeling ein!
    In May 2018 we ran our second freight train adventure on the DHR: as usual we started at Siliguri with 5 freght cars... but lost 3 on the way this time: derailments, technical issues. At the end we made it with only 2 freight wagons to Darjeeling - but we made it!

    Es gibt nur wenige Filme dieser Länge auf CZcams die man von Anfang bis Ende schaut. Dieser ist so einer!! Briliante Arbeit!! Jede Szene fesselt, fasziniert und man verfolgt mit Spannung was hinter der nächsten Kurve kommt. Wenn man bedenkt was für ein Aufwand es heutzutage ist, auf dieser Strecke einen Dampfzug von ganz unten bis nach Darjeeling zu befördern. Man staunt immer wieder wie das in alten Zeiten jahrzehntelang täglich der Fall war.
    Hoffentlich übersteht diese legendäre Bahn auch alle zukünftigen Schwierigkeiten, damit sie der Welt noch lange erhalten bleibt.

      Früher war es wirklich besser, was den Zustand der Dampfloks betrifft. Aber die Herausforderungen sind immer noch die gleichen: enge Radien, Steigungen, unberechenbares Wetter.

    Glad to see the old steamers still working, much better than rusting away or forgotten in a shed somewhere. Sounds like they could use a tuneup, the exhaust beat is rather uneven. Really not making nearly as much smoke as they could be either, they're hard workers and pull a good draft when they do. Loving the stack talk as they climb the grade.

    • @tomedgar4375
      @tomedgar4375 Před 10 měsíci

      Uneven exhaust note is a timing adjustment. Depending on the style of gear, it should be a relatively easy fix. I’ve heard lots worse

    • @mallow5828
      @mallow5828 Před 9 měsíci

      Ideally they shouldn’t be making any smoke at all as that can clog the boiler tubes. It’s a sign of poor coal quality as the burn is incomplete and leaves a lot of particles in the exhaust.

    When the old locomotives, built by the British, could no longer be repaired, the railway thought about buying diesel electrics to entirely replace the steam locomotives. However, they decided that the steam locomotives were still needed at the higher elevations, so they contracted with a company in Switzerland to build new steam locomotives for them Those locomotives are now 30 or 40 years old and likely to keep running for another 100 years.
